I hear ya I've actually had to pop the heat vents open in fear of heaters in my tanks not being able to keep up in my basement:/

Having studied aquaponics and hydroponics in school, congratulations on a job well done!

It's great to see this and revisit 'old lessons' in my head.

In franks setup I wouldn't worry so much but this is an interesting read for those who use local fish they catch for these kinds of projects. Especially since we share the same lake, it's an interesting read. Since they say it's found in the fishs intestance. http://www.seagrant.umn.edu/newslett...wild_fish.html

Fish poop doesn't have ecoli. It's mainly from raw mammal poop.

Salmonella is a possibly but waste isn't in direct contact so it should be fine.

It's funny I searched this up online a few months back. People kept saying it was a ecoli outbreak waiting to happen -_-

Awesome setup!
What kind of growth rate are the anubias petite doing? I always heard you got fast (relative to anubias) growth above water. I never got to try it properly, but it'd be a great way to grow out enough for a tank. Hmm..

It's almost a shame to make that into a dome.
